Montgomery Biscuits to play host to 2015 Southern League All-Star Game

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The Montgomery Biscuits, along with the city of Montgomery, will play host to the 2015 Southern League All-Star Game at Riverwalk Stadium next June.

This will mark the second time the Biscuits have hosted the All-Star Game, with Riverwalk Stadium being the site of the 2006 contest, the Biscuits stated in a release today.

"We're excited to showcase how much Montgomery has grown since we last had the game in 2006," Biscuits General Manager Scott Trible said. "After the successes of Biscuits baseball, the MAX Capital City Classic series and Rays at Riverwalk exhibition game, we hope to continue to draw fans from all over the southeast to experience great baseball games at beautiful Riverwalk Stadium."

The game is set for June 23, 2015, but the festivities will start the day before.

"The city works closely with the Biscuits ownership to meet the entertainment needs of families across the River Region as well as visitors. This event will be sure to showcase all that the Capital of Dreams has to offer," Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange said.

The Biscuits organization will release a full schedule of events in the coming months.

Ticket information will also be made available at the end of the 2014 season. Fans who purchase 2015 season tickets will have special priority privileges.

The Southern League has produced a number of future Major League stars, including Miguel Cabrera, Joey Votto, Paul Goldschmidt, Clayton Kershaw, Evan Longoria and many more.

Fans who attended the 2006 Southern League All-Star Game in Montgomery saw former National League MVP Joey Votto showcase his future prowess in the Home Run Derby, 2014 NL All-Star Miguel Montero go 3-3, and former MLB third baseman Scott Moore win All-Star Game MVP as the North Division won 9-4.
